Leadership in Law
Loeb & Loeb attorneys have represented some of the first Chinese Companies to list in the U.S. capital markets. For example, we helped American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (AOBO) become the first Chinese-based issuer to list on the New York Stock Exchange, where it made its debut in December 2006.
Our attorneys are pioneers of securities transactions for Chinese clients, and our achievements and rankings attest to our leadership role. Thomson Reuters ranks Loeb & Loeb #1 among law firms in underwritten public offerings by companies headquartered in China, as measured by the total number of deals closed over the three-year period from 2009 through 2011. Loeb & Loeb ranks #2 as measured by total deal value during this period.
